Unless there is an attorney on this thread who can correct my reading of 8 USC § 1401, I believe that he would be a natural born citizen even if he were born in Kenya.
I'm still wondering why some seem to think he may have been born in Kenya, though.
Don't jackals come from Africa? Also, some have heard that mom was delayed in flying out of Kenya, trying to rush back to the U.S.A. to give birth; birth happened in Kenya and they arrived in Hawaii and lied about birth origins.
It now appears that (gasp) my information may have been incorrect on requirements for natural born citizen status. The reason some think he may have been born in Kenya is that some in Kenya apparently have said as much in the past but don’t want to talk about it now.
I personally suspect that almost everything about him is fake in view of the fact that he is trying to pass himself off as a Christian on the basis of his past attendance at a church which is Christian in name only. If Trinity United is a Christian church then most churches in the Bible belt must not be Christian because they don’t resemble Trinity in any meaningful way. Real Christians are not full of hate. I grew up in South Carolina at a time when racism was openly acknowledged by most whites but I never heard a preacher in any church rant against black people the way Wright ranted against white people at Trinity, not even back in the fifties did I ever hear anything like that from a minister of the Gospel. I never heard it from my white school teachers either.

Well Phat I am an attorney and I am admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States. And your reading of 8 USC Sec. 1401 is dead wrong. The law is set forth in #148 above in this thread and I encourage you to read it.
Summary of the evidence that he was born in Kenya is set out here in a number of posts. The ultimate point is that there is a fair amount of evidence in support of the proposition that he was born in Kenya; the only evidence he was born in Hawaii is a forged birth certificate. So to me, the line of inquiry seems pretty clear.
